Sea kayaking and River kayaking

Differences of Sea Kayak and River Kayak

To be honest, Someone prefer sea kayak, others prefer river kayak. Sea kayaking and River kayaking simply require usually a greater degree of expertise and experience than lake kayaking does. As you head off into the sunset on your next paddling trip, remember to stay connected with your friends. Take the right walkie talkie radio for your Kayak, it’s very important

Here’s two differences between Sea Kayak and River Kayak:

1.You Actually Have To Paddle Whilst Sea Kayaking

Sea kayaking requires a certain level of fitness,especially against the wind!  Any kayaker that has done paddling on both rivers and on open water will agree with me that sea kayaking is more of an endurance sport.

With sea kayaking, you are often on the water for longer and you also need to actually paddle to keep going forward, with the wind not always being in your favour. On the calm stretches of river in between the rapids, river kayakers become some kind of boat/sloth hybrid. Paddles up and heads back, it’s easy to literally go with the flow of the river.

2.How Edging Your Sea Kayak Will Help Turn It

It seems impossibility of turning a sea kayak. A large part of turning and directing your kayak is your weight distribution in the kayak. By distributing your weight differently you can sit your kayak on a different edge of its own hull. Edging, if done right, will assist you in turning your kayak in a new direction.

Now when you’re riv er kayaking, this is straightforward enough as leaning into the direction that you want to go generally turns your kayak in that direction. With sea kayaking, this appeared to be a bit more random.

 

In my opinion, all outdoor adventures are better with friends or partners. Keep connected with each other with retevis walkie talkie radio, let’s go out for Sea Kayak or River Kayak now!
